Illustrious actor Prakash Raj, who won the National Award for the Best Actor for the year 2008, can show off of yet one more celebrated success.  He has just won the V Shantharam Award for the Best Actor for his act in the Tamil film 'Kanjeevaram'.  The difference has seems to have besieged Prakash.

The adoring actor played a Communist sympathizer and poor weaver whose dream is to see his daughter in a silk bridal saree on her wedding. Mr. Raj excelled in portraying the role to perfection so much so the audience had tears in ears when they left the theatre after watching the poignant climax, where he feeds his hapless daughter with poison and proceeds to the jail.

The film has been directed by Priyadarshan, who also won the Shantaram Award in Best Director category.  'Kanjeevaram' won the prestigious Best Film award and Best Cinematography award too.

It is also identified that Tamannah Bhatia won the Best Actress (South) Award for her acting in 'Konchem Ishtam Konchem Kashtam'.  Her Northern complement is Rani Mukherjee who won the award for her Dil Bole Hadippa act.
